Which is partly why I’ve been saying that ND is definitely in…

The 2021-2022 Coaching Carousel

They need more than just Bama losing to Georgia to get in
It'll depend on whether he wants to be a college coach again. That TT firing looks like a big mistake by TT today given how KK went to have success at the NFL level.
KK with those OU resources with that SEC ESPN money is intriguing and he recruited Patrick Mahomes to dusty Lubbock. Riley earned at least $2M more than Kliff did with his NFL job.
There are other good options out there but KK to OU does make some sense.
Michigan has to falter, which seems like the perfect Kirk Ferentz thing to do. Let down game coming for Wolverines.
They need two of Bama, Michigan and Okie Light to lose, assuming Cin takes care of Houston.
TTech was a sub 0.500 team with KK as their HC, including years with Mahomes as the QB. No mistake made by TTech, he wasn’t getting the job done.
The big thing that drove UM, FSU, and PSU into conferences decades ago was scheduling. For football it was easy. For title IX and the so called “olympic“ sports it was really challenging (being in a conference give you 8 or 16 game automatically). That challenge made it hard to attract good coaches for womens BB and soccer among others.
USC football would be fine. Other sports would be harder. Think about those games after the non conference games in sport X. Everyone else is now plying their conference games. But heres this independent trying to negotiate WBB games or hockey games or whatever during the conference slate.

Traylor seems a little underwhelming for them at least to me. Seems like Bob Stoops is going to be really involved here-so I feel like we can rule somebody out, and that's Josh Heupel (because the only thing that would cap off the greatest silly season in the history of the sport would be another Tennessee coaching search). I keep hearing about bad blood between him and OU that goes back to Stoops firing him. Tennessee played last week....so Heupel couldn't make this honoring the 2000 OU Championship thing-but to not even put his name up on the marquee is odd. He was that team's starting QB.
This years’ carousel looks like it was hit with the STUXNET virus.
I’ll take this dislike from @buffs as a major compliment.
Especially with this blocking sled comment…

Exactly, ND is 6th in the CFP pecking order so they need 2 of these 4 to lose: Cincy, OSU Cowboys, Michigan, Bama. And yes I think ND jumps Cincy if they lose to Houston
That number seems suspect, since BYU is joining a conference that pays out 25% of that number.
I think that's also because the last time they ran an actual coaching search the internet was in its infancy.
I could definitely see Doeren making that jump. Might be good for he and NC State.
Personally, I think Freeman is the best name on that list.
I assume the proximity to Texas and joining the SEC will keep them at a big time program level, but is there any chance that program permanently takes a step back to a lower tier? Not to the extent Nebraska has, necessarily, but maybe just more of a tier two kind of program?
They’ve just had Stoops and Riley for 22 years to continue the momentum, and I’m just wondering if Norman, OK is a place where blue chip kids are still going to want to be, ala Lincoln, NE
Maybe. It’s just weird to not have one coach you would say “that should be their main target.” I’m also hungover as **** from the 4 day weekend though. Maybe venables?
I think they will still be able to recruit Dallas well and that will keep them from becoming Nebraska. Having been to Norman it’s not for me because we are from Denver but it’s not really much different than all of Texas so kids don’t look at it the same way we do. They have a ton of institutional support, will do well with the NIL, are going to be able to say they are in the SEC and I believe they offer one of the best packages in the country with their athlete only dorm which is amazing. They are just in a weird spot right now moving to the SEC and trying to determine which program they need to be to compete for championships, imo.
My guess is that they got a sweetheart deal, which includes them keeping their independent network and getting a piece of the new conference’s money
